Face about 6' right of the crack.

Around the corner left of the crack

Thin face left of the crack.

Climb the "front" face.

Climb a seam up the "back" (uphill) side of the boulder.

The obvious off-width up the front of the boulder.

Thin face right of off-width.

Broken face farther around to the right.

Face to the left of the off-width.

Start to the right in the deep horizontal crack. Move right to left, until you reach the vertical dihedral above, and up that.

(Might be same problem as Broken Face above.)

Center of west face, don't use either arêtes.

West face using arête. Easiest way down.

At 3/4s pulls back onto south side.

Start low on the west face, and spiral leftwards around the boulder finishing at the top-center of the west face.

Traverse the boulder -- either direction.

Climb the blunt arête at the south-west (left face of the bowl on the south face) corner of the boulder.

Work up the steep arête on the east side of the boulder. This is the right side of the south-east arête.

Easiest way off the boulder, on the east face of the boulder.

A couple thin moves to the biggest most obvious holds on the east face of the boulder.

Crux is first couple moves -- so actually easier than 5.7 down climbing if you jump down from a couple feet up.

Left side of the north face.

Climb the thin seam up the boulder. Bolts are available at top of face, so often top-roped.

Climb the slabby east buttress. One bolt available.

Boulder, or TR, the right side of the north face.

Boulder (or top-rope) the flake.

Boulder (or top-rope) the face just to the left of the buttress, several variations.

Thin face, left side, using the "bullet hole" pocket in the wall.

Super-thin face, right side.

Jump to sloping top of rock and mantel.

Climb the left-curving seam until it becomes a flake.

Climb the vertical finger crack. Good spotter needed, the block in the bottom of the crack can be an ankle breaker.

Climb the thin seam right of the finger crack.

On the next block to the left -- sometimes called the American Express Boulder, this is the high left face, which has TR bolts on top.

Lieback

The very thin crack/seam in a bit of a corner.

Face right of the thin crack -- either right or left side of face.

Gentle to steeper slabs up the right side of the Terrible Face boulder. Lots of variations possible in the 5.4 to 5.7 range.

The short face around the left side of the right most boulder of the set.

Steep face on the left side, facing toward the other boulders in the set.

A set of flakes going up the left side of the front of the boulder.

Be careful of the ankle-breaking blade of rock in the ground at the base of this problem.

Fairly far to the left of the left boulder in the cluster, there is an obvious crack splitting the boulder.

Friction up to brown plate-like patina, then a couple lunges to finish.

Climb up the center of the face.

Climb up the right side of the face.

Short face to the right of the main one.

On the east side of the boulder is a crack that angles up rightwards, then double-s back to the left. Crux is at the direction-change.

On the right-side of the right-end, where the boulder is least steep and has a few holds.

Traverse the entire boulder right-to-left.

SDS from undercling.

Climb the holds on the back side.

A mantel problem near the east end of the boulder.
